In line with the ‘bottom-up’ approach to rural development under the LEADER elements of the Rural Development Programme 2007-2013, the Local Action Groups (LAGs) are the principal decision-makers in relation to the allocation of project funding. Such decisions are made in the context of the local development strategy of the individual groups and in line with the Programme’s Operating Rules and EU regulations.
I understand that an application from the promoter referred to was received by Mayo North East LEADER Partnership (MNELP). However, the project in question falls outside the operational area of MNELP and the promoter has been informed of this fact.
